Police detain suspect in Borussia Dortmund team bus blast case

Germany's prosecutor general on Wednesday said police arrested one suspect following the "terrorist" bomb attack targeting the Borussia Dortmund soccer team bus.

Three explosions went off as the bus departed for the stadium for Tuesday night's Champions League match with Monaco and defender Marc Bartra required an operation for a broken bone in his right wrist after he was injured in the incident.

Spain global Bartra was injured in the attack on Tuesday night as the players began their journey to the Westfalenstadion for their Champions League quarter-final first leg game against Monaco.

The spokeswoman for the Federal Prosecutors, who handle probes into suspected terrorism, said investigators had found three letters near the scene of the attack, all with the same content suggesting a possible Islamist motive.

National media, citing unnamed sources, said investigators were now pursuing a possible Islamist link to the blasts.
